The final episode of The Big Bang Theory filmed last week and is set to air in the US on May 16 (there’s no word yet on when it will air in Australia).

The Big Bang Theory will end after 12 seasons and 279 episodes, making it the longest-running live-action sitcom in TV history. Since its 2007 premiere, the show has received 52 Emmy Award nominations and 10 wins to date, along with seven Golden Globe nominations.

As the series comes to a close, Galecki has made several emotional posts on social media about the show.

In one post on April 30, the actor wrote: “More feelings than words can express”.
